Topic awaiting preservation: Gmail invites increased to 50!

Ok, for those of you who have a Gmail account, you may have noticed, that the invites went from 5 to 50! Mine did.

Who wants a Gmail account? Just post here, or send me a mail at webshaman@gmail.com

andre at viol dot net

TIA

Sent.

Heh, i just noticed that on my account.

There's not many people i know now that don't already have a gmail account

Nolp

I also have 50.

Why are they even bothering with the invite system anymore is my question?

:::11oh1:::

I don't know....

Seems to keep everyone discussing it though

Invite away - I have 50 too

[edit: oops I refrshed the page and sent you another invite - I'm sure you'll find something to do with it.]

I assume the sheer number of invites knocking around mean that they may never officially launch it'll just reach a point where everyone who wants one will have one (or three - I might send myself some more invites).

if I went 'round saying I was an Emperor just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me, they'd put me away!

Thanks WebShaman, my gmail is up and running.

Have you guys seen this?

Probably yes but it doesn't hurt mentioning it again, if this is the case.
My Gmail Drive is working okay also. Nice stuff.

I take it Ramm, that Emps sent you an invite? Let me know, or else I will send you one!



Np viol.

I would need one quite desperatly.

The spam level on my hotmail accounts have gone through the roof since new years.. the usual spam but with large attachments.

Anyone got a spare invite and I'd be very thankful.

(don't know if this has any effect save for the dumbest robots, but whatever )

Nimraw: invite sent

Ooooooo I'm going to have to try that out tomorrow - I wonder if I can set up a separate account for files?

This gPopper looks interesting too:

I wonder if it could be setup to access all my Gmail accounts?

More things for tomorrow.

I don't know about anybody else but I had a hard time getting rid of my 6 invites... everytime I gave away one or two it would just reload me to 6 invites... I'll never even come close to giving away 50.

Thanks WS and Veneficiuz.

Now I'm up and running

Well if some on has an invite left, i like to have one too.
Send it to my special spam adres: tomtrap@xs4all.nl thank you very much.

Funny... aside from the first two that I got I never got any more invites...

I guess since we got invited we can't invite other people ourselves?

.::. cEll .::. 513

well, I didn't get invited. I got my gmail account becuase I was a regular blogger user. I soon recieved 2 invites that I gave to 2 of my friends, and after that I got nothing else.

50 invites... just noticed I think Google have intentions of gobling up Yahoo! and Hotmail... so far so good. Either that or they figured instead of giving them randomly just through a truckload at everyone!!!

Jesus... I have 100 invites. Plenty to spare

i also have 50 invites now.. let me know if you need one

Here's an idea - what if they are handing out a specific number of invites in order to observe:

1) ...trends in usage and numbers with each exponential increase in potential users.

2) ...product reliability/performance within predictable maximum usage limits.

Because when an invite comes from someone, you are generally going to be able to limit the account creation for use with spam. It becomes one step harder to create an account for spam sending. And it is then easy to follow the chain of the accounts setup to remove all accounts relating to a spammer.

It follows, oh look, all these accounts under personx are used for spamming, lets just prune this brance, and bye bye spam.

Another way this works is that it allows google to track a whole crap load of information, this can go a long way into explaining how people use the web, without ever having to look at the actual content. Just tracking the numbers of emails sent from any given withing a given sub-tree, that would be amazing. I would love to see a tree representation of the email network.

I can't even imagine what what kind of predictive models could be created by this kind of information. This is a dataminer's fantasy, and I am not talking the kind the harvests you information to sell, I am talking about those who sit in universities doing research.

Dan @ Code Town

yeah........i just noticed i have 50. still got all 50 too. So.........anyone else need one or 20?

WarMage - that is a fantastic idea and logical assumption.

*imagines the number weirdness shrubbery with awe*

Does anyone know when Google plan to take Gmail out BETA? It's been in BETA for quite a while now, eh?

Vital Effect Web Design

The better question is "Does google ever take something out of beta?"

Dan @ Code Town

Oo! me, I want one. pentolpen at yahoo dot ca

edopedoce, invite sent

Later,

C:\

Well it seems that you get 50 invites anyway what ever you do. I did not use the gmail acount untill know (only 2 test mails) and i got 50 invites already....

Getting something out of beta, anypne remembers how long icq was in beta??? They might be the record holder as far as i know

I sent you an invite, to my understanding yahoo is notorious for filtering stuff as junkmail, so if you don't see it check your junkmail folder.

Got it. Gracias!
